LinkPatrol

SEO’s are always on the look out for tools to make their job easier. This is where Google Chrome’s browser extensions can be such a great help. When you go to the Chrome store for SEO extensions you can easily become overwhelmed with the huge list of possible extensions? So which ones are the best? I’m glad you asked, I went through and tested most of them to see which SEO Extensions were Good, Bad, or useful but Ugly.

This is a great post…especially for someone like me that doesn’t use Chrome as often. One thing about the SEOQuake toolbar is it’s now no longer working with Google (at least from what I can see) and you will get CAPTCHA at your company if someone is using it extensively (like more than once!). Great tool but just a bit of headache using it.

Nice post, I would also add a screenshot plugin and an unpersonlized search plugin. But generally, recommend using QuixApp by Yoast. Installing too many plugins will slow down Chrome, just as it slows down Firefox. I wrote a post about it here, if anyone is interested

Interesting list of the good and the not so good SEO extensions. I’ve been using mainly Firefox for my SEO work and have associated Chrome with the lighter side of my web browsing. All in all thanks for this post.
